Top 3 Chinese restaurant in Bangkok
Level 3, Shangri-la Hotel, Bangkok.
The most amazing Peking Duck in town!
We have Peking duck semi-regularly in Australia but the Peking Duck at the Shang Palace beats the ones we’ve eaten back in Sydney without question.
At the Shang Palace, the Peking duck is prepared table side. We watched crispy duck skin being defatted to enhance the crispyiness. The homemade pancakes were delicately pan fried and thin enough to hold the contents together without interfering with the texture or taste of the crispy duck skin. The duck skin is crisp and holds just the perfect amount of fat so that multiple duck pancakes can be consumed without feeling to heavy in the stomach.
We shared 1 peking duck (2 courses) and market fresh gai-lan stir fried in garlic between 2 people. We planned to ordered another main but was wisely informed that this would be too much for our table. The adjacent table shared 1 duck between 10 people. The serving ratio of 1 duck between 2 people is (slightly) indulgent but between 10 people is simply criminal!
The remaining duck meat is shredded into small pieces for second course San Choy Bow. The minced duck meat was served with finely diced carrots, pine nuts and cucumber. It was clear I was going to run out of iceberg lettuce and was offered more without asking. We asked for some duck meat to be set aside for our baby (who loves duck) and we were given some complementary slices of roasted duck meat for him. He tucked into the duck meat and the gai-lan with zest!
Overall: Order the Peking Duck; Child/Baby friendly – providing extra baby appropriate food upon request but bring your own strap for the high chair (we use the should strap from my husband’s laptop bag or my handbag), Generous Servings and Fresh ingredients.
